Note: Do not weight yourself DAILY, only weight yourself WEEKLY. IF you find you've gained weight and have been exercising either increase the amount of exercise or lower the calories, or you can lower caloric intake by 50 a day and increase exercise. Different things work for different people, that is why a generic calculator will not work.
"....."That's why 12WBT keeps things simple: for weight loss we recommend consuming 1200 calories a day if you're a woman and 1800 calories a day if you're a guy.
Once you've reached your goal weight and have stayed at or below it for a couple of weeks, we suggest adjusting your calorie intake upwards, adding blocks of 100 calories a day so the number on the scales stops going down.
If it starts going up again, drop your daily intake back again in 100 calorie increments.
"You can often work out your calorie needs by monitoring your food intake, activity level and your weight or how your clothes are feeling," Georgie explains."
